Terrible? and also amazing?
Terrible that now when I’m bored and have nothing to do, just like people who smoke, I usually open Instagram and let my brain rot while watching all those stories and short videos. And also when there’s some big news, like minister reshuffling, Nepal riot, and Charlie Kirk’s assassination, I feel like the last person who knows about them.
But amazing in terms of not seeing shallow opinions from stupid people. Not overly stressed about anything that is outside of my control, especially when you intentionally avoid politic-related topic, but then all your friends posted on their stories are politic-related. I’m not exactly apathetic, but when I saw those news, my blood boiled because I cared a little too much, and it drained me mentally. And I am a firm believer of keeping yourself safe first, and only then you keep others safe. Like if you want to help a drown person you have to be cautious, too, if they panic they can drown you.
